Danny was amazing at listening to my questions and patiently helping me understand—without ever making me feel dumb… even when I asked dumb questions. He really knows his stuff and met me where I was with my knowledge to bridge the gap. I would HIGHLY recommend Danny.

I worked with Erfun in 2021 to study for the GMAT. He was a fantastic tutor and helped me achieve a great score that got me into my target schools. His ability to identify your strengths/weaknesses, structure a lesson plan around your abilities, and clearly and succinctly explain the the answers for each question/question type is unparalleled. He not only teaches the underlying theory for each topic (be it quant or verbal), but also drills the importance of learning how to take the test with well-defined strategies for each question type. If I were to have studied by myself, I almost certainly would have overlooked the significance of identifying each question type and being strict in following the same strategy for each. A huge piece for me was having structure within my studying. Studying for the GMAT is daunting, especially with a full-time job, so having a plan was crucial. Erfun helped devise a study plan with quizzes/practice tests and a target for test day. He kept me on track with daily practice from his trove of questions as well as weekly assignments based on the current area of focus. Working with Erfun was definitely a worthwhile investment in my B school journey.

Steven has a unique ability to connect with people on a personal and professional level. He is genuinely interested in helping others navigate their career, utilizing a thoughtful framework to optimize their talent and experience. He was instrumental in helping me transition from a sales role in traditional media to a strategy role in tech. Without his guidance, I wouldn’t have been able to pivot my career journey and open up countless other opportunities.

Chip helped me successfully(!) navigate the Kellogg application and interview process. He’s an incredibly thoughtful mentor and coach who brought out the best in me. If you’re looking for a mentor who has a nose for authenticity and is honest yet supportive at all times, Chip is the right coach for you.

Josh was an amazing tutor. I approached him with a very tight timeline of 3 weeks and he quickly mobilized and created a plan to get me to my target score. He first identified my weaknesses then created a calendar with detailed homework assignments for each week, completely removing the burden of planning off my shoulders. He was also very knowledgeable on the test and helped me see the problems through a lens I hadn’t before. These weren’t "quick tips" but rather ways of thinking that he taught me to adopt. GMAT questions can be rather deceitful, but he breaks each question type down to understandable parts that allow you to see through the tricks of the test writers. In only 20 days, he took me from a Q 38 to a 46, a feat I couldn't have accomplished by simply reviewing math on my own. Aside from that, he was also very supportive and easy to work with, which definitely helped keep up the morale!

Tijs coached me specifically for the Bain interview process, with tricks tailored to the Bain process. For example, having knowledge about common Bain charts / graphs used in case interviews helped me navigate smoothly through the process. I landed a full-time offer as Associate Consultant.

Marie is a fantastic tutor and helped me a lot in my GMAT preparation. With her I primarily focused on the quantitative section and my scores drastically improved. I highly recommend her as a tutor in general and as a math tutor especially. Thanks to her help I managed to get into Columbia Business School's MBA deferred enrollment program.

I worked with Andrew to prepare for my Kellogg Future Leaders interview. During our sessions, he went above and beyond, offering more than the simple walkthrough of sample questions. His feedback was tailored to my profile and candidacy. He challenge me to hone-in and share my passion for the things that matter most to me. I would recommend that anyone going through deferred admit and / or the KFL process work with Andrew!

I cannot express how thankful I am to have worked with a consultant as talented and attentive as Amy. She excels in her capability to revise and polish one’s work, coach and explain exactly what the school is looking for, and in giving feedback in a timely and efficient manner, making her a true triple threat. Her friendliness during the process was greatly appreciated and was only outshined by her honest and thoughtful revisions. I firmly believe that I could neither have made my essay as polished nor made it as quickly had it not been for Amy’s help. Her rate is a bargain for the service that she provides in peace of mind alone. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Amy wholly and without reservation.

Adrian helped me prepare for management consulting case interviews. He is an excellent coach because he can offer experience from practicing / leading lots of cases on his own as well as provide the perspective of someone who has worked at a top consulting firm. Also Adrian was also able to help me prepare for Bizops interviews later in my career.
